Purcell is a great recruiter, but I?m wondering how great of an on court coach he is.
He is high energy, but you can be too high energy. I wonder if that is part of why our girls play up and down so much.
It's girls basketball. Does it matter? 28 people watch their games
We shot the ball really well tonight, 50%. I was impressed with the intensity and energy level tonight. Florida has decent talent and winning on the road is always good. Gotta give credit to Purcell also, he did a good job getting the team ready and having them play hard.
Btw, Jessica Carter seems to be getting better every game, she was pretty dominating inside.
They did indeed improve the shooting after a lot of in close misses in the first half. But more importantly it looks like Purcell got their attention about there being 4 quarters, not 2.Quote:

Those girls on both sides last night were fun to watch go up and down the court. They miss more close in shots because they don't have the length or the strength to power up so many times they are rushing the shot in it goes over the basket. Our 5'3" point guard made 2 scoop shots from her waste. The ball has to travel from 3 feet from the ground up to the banking board and into the basket. Men get that close and they usually are 6 inches to the goal or a dunk.
I enjoyed it.
You pretty much nailed it; I coached both boys and girls in high school as well as the college level for a few years. Fundamentals are the same in teaching, but the emotion level is totally different. I will say the last year I coached, I got really distraught with dealing with the HC and her "woke" ways, let's just say strange things happened for the better of my career as I got offered a job outside of Coaching I couldn't refuse. It was hard walking away from a dream/goal I had for wanting to be a HC in college basketball.Quote:

That has nothing to do with your (false) statement that 28 people watch it or your implication that it doesn't matter.Quote:

We just finished a decade stretch where more people attended girls games than guys games. I personally am not a huge fan, but I watch it and thousands other do as well.
You all go easy on Coach 34.
He just does this at times for clicks 😂
100%! Purcell is young and learning and doing a very good job.Quote:

Guessing u haven?t watched the men play this yea. Can?t dunk or make a damn layup.
I finally figured this post out; I think you meant "waist" instead of "waste", which makes sense. BTW, I enjoyed it too, and enjoy watching women's BB, although it is incredibly maddening how many layups and around the basket shots they miss. It seems to me that they fundamentally don't know how to use the backboard.Quote:

I've watched a couple of games this season and the athleticism and intensity just didn't seem to be there as compared to Vic's teams. A lot of air balls, misses and poor technique. But to be fair, the other teams looked just as bad. USCe is just at another level.
I think that is because there are far fewer extremely talented women basketball players than men.Quote:
